Saturday at Menemsha........the black herons and me....waiting for Irene

A lot of folks left the island today. And a lot came over.  We counted how many stores were preparing.....for the tides that would breach the two-foot 'sea-wall' that protects down-town Edgartown from the waters in the harbor....there were 9.  We counted about a dozen sand bags.  Folks were taking down their store signs.  The Atlantic restaurant's Bulgarian waiters were taking down the awning.   Everyone on the island, seemingly, filled their tank with gas. The birds have been very quiet all day.  Where do they go during a storm?
